While I lie here burning, you’re encased in ice
With tainted eyes upon your tainted soul
It’s no wonder I’m so cold
A terrible thing I’m learning as tears are turned to ice
These four walls will be my dreaded foes
As I rot here in this hole

Do you conspire to hold me down?
Do you conspire to hold?
Do you conspire to hold me down?
Have I wasted a dream?

Restless seas will murder me tonight
As you appease effortlessly the open mouths of hungry thieves
There’ll be no silent empathy inside
No colour or shades of hope

And there it is, as pure as snow
I couldn’t see it for my head was too low
And prying eyes, they stoop too low
Poisoning my soul, as sanity waits in the gallows
Defeated I, fighting for a lost cause
Depleted I, dying for the wrong cause
These are the hours on the range
The more you show them
The more they choose to take away
Some things never change in the wings
And as it’s your war,
There’ll be no escape at all
